Look out for the small fountain at the entrance of the village – a refreshing stop to fill your water bottle on hot days.

Benissivá is one of the eight small villages of the Vall de Gallinera, a quiet valley in the mountains of the Costa Blanca known for its cherry orchards, almond trees and Moorish heritage. The village is set on a gentle slope with narrow streets and traditional whitewashed houses, offering cyclists and hikers a peaceful stop along their route. From Benissivá you can enjoy beautiful views of the valley and the surrounding peaks, with easy access to both road and gravel routes that link the neighbouring villages. In spring, the cherry blossom transforms the landscape into a colourful spectacle, while the rest of the year the calm atmosphere and local charm make it a perfect place to pause, refuel and take in the scenery. A coffee on the terrace of the village bar is the ideal reward before continuing your ride or hike deeper into the Vall de Gallinera.

Margarida (Planes, Alicante) is a tiny and picturesque mountain hamlet at around 600 meters above sea level, nestled between the valleys of Planes, Gallinera and Alcalá. The village is dominated by the ruins of the Castillo de Margarida, perched dramatically on a rocky outcrop with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside. It is a place of silence and simplicity, with only a rural guesthouse and a modest tavern on the edge of the settlement, making it an ideal stop for those seeking peace and authenticity. From here, quiet roads and trails lead into the surrounding mountains, towards landmarks such as La Foradá and the Barranc de l’Encantada. Margarida may be small, but its charm lies in its remoteness, the sense of stepping back in time, and the breathtaking panoramas that reward anyone who makes the journey up into these hills.

Long port from Ebo, little shade, every curve is worth it

Tough but with magnificent views. Relatively quiet road.

Just off the road between Sagra and Pego, the small turnoff toward Vall d’Ebo leads into one of the most beautiful and tranquil climbs in the Costa Blanca mountains. It may not be famous outside of cycling circles — but pros know it well: Tadej Pogačar holds the Strava KOM on this climb. From the Pego side, the ascent runs for about 8 km, gaining 400 metres at a steady average of 5%. The road is smooth, quiet, and beautifully engineered — with a flowing rhythm and wide, elegant curves. The landscape is peaceful and wild, with cliffs, pines, and far-reaching views. At the top, just before you descend into Vall d’Ebo, you’re rewarded with a spectacular view in both directions: looking back, the coastline and the Mediterranean Sea; looking ahead, the lush green valley of Vall d’Ebo, framed by rugged ridges and rocky outcrops. It’s a rare and stunning double panorama. If you continue past the village, you can create a magnificent loop via Pla de Petracos, riding through remote canyons and ancient rock formations before descending into Benigembla and back to the Vall de Pop. If you're riding from Vall d’Ebo toward Pego, the climb is shorter — about 3 km at 6% — but still very scenic, especially as you rise above the valley with dramatic views behind you. Vall d’Ebo may be quiet, but it’s world-class: pure road, total calm, and the kind of climb you’ll want to ride again and again.
